If George is 33 1/3% richer than Pete, than Pete is what percent poorer than George?

OleMash [197]

Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

George is 33 $\frac{1}{3}$ % ( $\frac{100}{3}$ %) richer than Pete. Let Pete's percentage of wealth be 100%.

Thus George percentage of wealth = 100% + $\frac{100}{3}$ %

= $\frac{400}{3}$ %

= 133 $\frac{1}{3}$ %

Pete's percent poorer than George can be determined by;

= $(\frac{100}{3})$ ÷ $(\frac{400}{3} )$ × 100

= $(\frac{100}{3})$ × $\frac{3}{400}$ ×100

= 0.25 × 100

= 25%

Pete is 25% poorer than George.

Can somebody explain how these would be done? The selected answer is incorrect, and I was told "Nice try...express the product b

Answer:

Solution ( Second Attachment ) : - 2.017 + 0.656i

Solution ( First Attachment ) : 16.140 - 5.244i

Step-by-step explanation:

Second Attachment : The quotient of the two expressions would be the following,

$6\left[\cos \left(\frac{2\pi }{5}\right)+i\sin \left(\frac{2\pi \:}{5}\right)\right]$ ÷ $2\sqrt{2}\left[\cos \left(\frac{-\pi }{2}\right)+i\sin \left(\frac{-\pi \:}{2}\right)\right]$

So if we want to determine this expression in standard complex form, we can first convert it into trigonometric form, then apply trivial identities. Either that, or we can straight away apply the following identities and substitute,

( 1 ) cos(x) = sin(π / 2 - x)

( 2 ) sin(x) = cos(π / 2 - x)

If cos(x) = sin(π / 2 - x), then cos(2π / 5) = sin(π / 2 - 2π / 5) = sin(π / 10). Respectively sin(2π / 5) = cos(π / 2 - 2π / 5) = cos(π / 10). Let's simplify sin(π / 10) and cos(π / 10) with two more identities,

( 1 ) $\cos \left(\frac{x}{2}\right)=\sqrt{\frac{1+\cos \left(x\right)}{2}}$

( 2 ) $\sin \left(\frac{x}{2}\right)=\sqrt{\frac{1-\cos \left(x\right)}{2}}$

These two identities makes sin(π / 10) = $\frac{\sqrt{2}\sqrt{3-\sqrt{5}}}{4}$ , and cos(π / 10) = $\frac{\sqrt{2}\sqrt{5+\sqrt{5}}}{4}$ .

Therefore cos(2π / 5) = $\frac{\sqrt{2}\sqrt{3-\sqrt{5}}}{4}$ , and sin(2π / 5) = $\frac{\sqrt{2}\sqrt{5+\sqrt{5}}}{4}$ . Substitute,

$6\left[ \left\frac{\sqrt{2}\sqrt{3-\sqrt{5}}}{4}+i\left\frac{\sqrt{2}\sqrt{5+\sqrt{5}}}{4}\right]$ ÷ $2\sqrt{2}\left[\cos \left(\frac{-\pi }{2}\right)+i\sin \left(\frac{-\pi \:}{2}\right)\right]$

Remember that cos(- π / 2) = 0, and sin(- π / 2) = - 1. Substituting those values,

$6\left[ \left\frac{\sqrt{2}\sqrt{3-\sqrt{5}}}{4}+i\left\frac{\sqrt{2}\sqrt{5+\sqrt{5}}}{4}\right]$ ÷ $2\sqrt{2}\left[0-i\right]$

And now simplify this expression to receive our answer,

$6\left[ \left\frac{\sqrt{2}\sqrt{3-\sqrt{5}}}{4}+i\left\frac{\sqrt{2}\sqrt{5+\sqrt{5}}}{4}\right]$ ÷ $2\sqrt{2}\left[0-i\right]$ = $-\frac{3\sqrt{5+\sqrt{5}}}{4}+\frac{3\sqrt{3-\sqrt{5}}}{4}i$ ,

$-\frac{3\sqrt{5+\sqrt{5}}}{4}$ = $-2.01749\dots$ and $\:\frac{3\sqrt{3-\sqrt{5}}}{4}$ = $0.65552\dots$

= $-2.01749+0.65552i$

As you can see our solution is option c. - 2.01749 was rounded to - 2.017, and 0.65552 was rounded to 0.656.

First Attachment : We know from the previous problem that cos(2π / 5) = $\frac{\sqrt{2}\sqrt{3-\sqrt{5}}}{4}$ , sin(2π / 5) = $\frac{\sqrt{2}\sqrt{5+\sqrt{5}}}{4}$ , cos(- π / 2) = 0, and sin(- π / 2) = - 1. Substituting we receive a simplified expression,

$6\sqrt{5+\sqrt{5}}-6i\sqrt{3-\sqrt{5}}$
